What an 88 Actually Means for This Game
The PC 88 is a broadly positive critic signal, not a guarantee that the PC version is the right purchase for every player. First, compare the PC requirements with your hardware and the documented PS5 Pro profiles on the PC vs PS5 guide. Second, read the review roundup for the attributed combat praise and story or technical caveats, rather than treating the aggregate as a feature checklist. Third, use the game-information page to decide whether the confirmed dark-wuxia combat and connected-map structure match your preferences.
The PS5 score is a separate 87/42 snapshot, so do not use the PC 88 to imply that both review pools are identical. Both counts can change as Metacritic adds reviews.
Read platform context, not only the headline
Use the direct Metacritic platform record and current storefront information to identify the version behind a score. This avoids blending PC and PS5 critic pools into an unsupported single claim.

Is OpenCritic the same score?
No. It is a separate aggregate; the 91 figure on the review page is labelled as a historical report, not a current score.
